What makes this statement very odd is that fact that Professor X, Magneto, Mystique and Beast all play absolutely vital roles in the world of X-Men - so how could the franchise continue on without them? The simplest answer could be that future titles would center on the new younger versions of characters like Cyclops, Jean Gray and Storm, and follow their adventures, but how do you feature them and not feature Xavier and Beast as their teachers? Another possible solution is that 20th Century Fox may start looking at different teams that they have the rights to, like X-Force (which has already been developing) or Alpha Flight. Or maybe they'll just starting focusing more on solo titles, like the announced Deadpool and rumored Gambit. There are a number of interesting options, and it will be fascinating to see which directions they go in.

Apocalypse, which is being directed by Bryan Singer and is being written by Kinberg, is scheduled to go into production next year and is currently dated on the release calendar for May 27, 2016. Josh Trank's upcoming Fantastic Four reboot continues to be a complete mystery. While big comic book movie productions like The Avengers: Age of Ultron and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice have to deal with all kids of paparazzi spy photos from the set, the 20th Century Fox film managed to slip in and out of production without drawing too much attention, and we have yet to actually hear any details regarding the film's plot. With the film not out until August of next year, it may still be a little while before anything is officially confirmed, but for now we can subsist on the rumors that keep trickling in.

Take, for example, this new report from Schmoes Knows, which claims to have information about the Fantastic Four actually become the Fantastic Four in the new Fantastic Four movie. According to the site's source, Reed Richards (Miles Teller), Sue Storm (Kate Mara), Johnny Storm (Michael B. Jordan) and Ben Grimm (Jamie Bill) will be getting their powers due to a lab experiment that winds up going terribly awry. They are working on a portal that can access another dimension, but when they go through they wind up changed on the other side, gaining the superpowers that they are famous for in the comics.

Those of you who are familiar with the Ultimate Fantastic Four comics probably feel your spidey senses tingling right about now - and that's because this origin is basically ripped straight from what was done in that run. Just like the rumored plot, that version of the team had Reed Richards doing experiments with the Negative Zone and bringing his friends along for an inter-dimensional ride. Unfortunately, Victor von Doom (the future Doctor Doom) screws with the calculations a bit, which is how the Fantastic Four wind up changing. This is a very different introduction than what was featured in the original run of the comics or Tim Story's Fantastic Four film from 2005, but that would be a very good thing for a reboot to do, right?

Adding to their scoop, the new report also says that The Fantastic Four is going to be "VERY character-driven." Rather than just being all about the action, instead the movie plans of really taking a close look not only at the relationships between the central team of heroes, but also their connection with Victor (who will be played by Toby Kebbell). Obviously this is far from a confirmation and every bit of this "news" should be treated with a grain of salt, but it certainly would be an interesting direction for the project. Co-starring Reg E. Cathey (as Johnny and Sue's dad, Dr. Franklin Storm) and Tim Blake Nelson (as Harvey Elder a.k.a. Mole-Man), The Fantastic Four is now in post-production and will be in theaters on August 7, 2015.

"The thrust of Apocalypse is really to complete the trilogy we began with First Class – to complete the stories of young Raven, young Hank, younger Charles and Erik. And complete this trilogy of four people who began the films sort of disparate and in different worlds who we’ve followed through the span of decades. So that’ll be the thrust. There will be familiar characters and new characters that we haven’t seen…ever…but it’ll be the completion of what we began in First Class."

While answering fan questions as part of a recent fan Q&A hosted by Yahoo! UK, the filmmaker revealed that X-Men: Apocalypse is being strongly viewed as an end to a trilogy that began with X-Men: First Class and continued this past summer with Days of Future Past. The aim seems to be to provide some kind of conclusion for Xavier, Magneto, Mystique and Beast, who have grown and changed (some more literally than others) a great deal over time. Said Kinberg,

Best Eggs on Earth

Hello :o

eggs are high on Tracey’s comfort food list, along with grilled cheese

and a cheese omelet. One day, when she couldn’t choose between them, she

made these cheesy eggs.

They are so good that perhaps your kids will clean

their rooms in order to have them. We use two eggs each, but if you are

cooking for little ones, 1 egg each and 1⁄2 of the remaining ingredients will be more than enough.

1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter

4 large eggs

3/4 cup shredded (packed) extra-sharp Cheddar cheese (3 ounces)

1 ripe medium tomato, cut into

1/3- inch dice

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1.Preheat the broiler with the rack set in the highest position.

2.Melt the butter in a medium nonstick or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over medium heat.

Crack the eggs and add to the pan, spacing as best you can. Sprinkle the cheese and diced tomato on top around the yolks.

Cook until the bottom of the eggs is just firm enough to slip a spatula under, 1 to 2 minutes.

3.Transfer the skillet to the broiler and cook until the cheese is bubbly and the tops of the eggs are just set, 2 to 3 minutes (depending on the intensity of

your broiler). Season with salt and pepper.

Cooks’ Notes

✤ To keep the yolks a little runny, broil the eggs as soon as they are set on

the bottom. For six to eight eggs, use a larger skillet and a little more butter, cheese, and tomato. The cooking time will be about the same.

✤ There is nothing wrong with adding a crumbling of bacon with the

cheese—and don’t forget toast for dunking.

Speak out against a movie

A piece of advice for fledgling entertainment journalists who’d like to make a living interviewing movie stars: See the actual film before conducting said interview on live television. Or else, you might suffer the fate bestowed on Denver television personality Chris Parente, who had Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader on the line to talk about a movie he basically didn’t watch. Enjoy the awkwardness:

Watch The Expendables 3 Online

Watch Step Up All In Online

Watch Into the Storm Online

Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader were doing satellite interviews on behalf of their Sundance Film Festival hit The Skeleton Twins, where they play estranged siblings who reunite after Hader’s character attempts suicide. Even though Parente calls this "a very different and fantastic film," you get the impression that he’s heading down the wrong track when he consistently says that The Skeleton Twins was "the talk of the festival" at the Toronto International Film Festival. Except The Skeleton Twins didn’t play Toronto. Simple mistake, and if Parente stopped there, he might have avoided viral video-dom. But he didn’t.

During the interview (via Uproxx), Parente thinks it’s a great idea to ask Kristin Wiig for advice about going full-frontal nude on screen. The actress, normally willing to go along with any joke, appears confused, so Parente tries to save the interview by telling Wiig, "You do it in the film!"

Watch The Fault in Our Stars Online

Oof. Nope. She doesn’t. And Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader are very quick to point out Parente’s error. It’s only when he begins to ramble out plot points about Wiig’s character winning the lottery that I suddenly realized he was referring to the actress’s turn in Welcome to Me -- which WAS in Toronto and did generate some buzz. But it doesn’t co-star Bill Hader, and it isn’t titled The Skeleton Twins.

"This was great," Wiig surmises as the interview sputters to a close. And she’s right, if you enjoy watching someone insert their own foot into their mouth on live television. Listen, these meltdowns happen. Our brains become confused. Interviewing celebrities brings its own unique brand of pressure. However, this reporter had one job, with multiple facets. Know the content of the movie on which you are asking questions of your interview subject. Do your research. Watch the actual film before you interview a movie’s stars. Prepare.

Watch Think Like a Man Too Online

As someone who fears making a mistake on live television, Bill Hader’s question gives me spinal chills: "Did you see this film? Chris?!"The Skeleton Twins, which I’ve seen, is a terrific little offbeat drama that soars on the chemistry of Wiig and Hader as dysfunctional siblings who have drifted apart and realize they are still woefully broken when they try to reunite. It isn’t as funny as the above video, but it has a killer lip-synch karaoke version of Jefferson Starship’s Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us. And for that alone, you need to see it if it reaches a theater near you.

Five Guys Fries And Five Guys Cajun Fries

I found this on line -

Five Guys Fries And Five Guys Cajun Fries

When it comes to making a Boardwalk style fry, the creators of Five Guys burgers and fries have doing it as well as anybody, including the folks that actually do it on the Boardwalk, since 1986. What is a Boardwalk style fry?

These fries have some characteristics that help them stand apart from typical fast-food offerings; first, they are made using 100% pure peanut oil, which gives them a very distinct flavor that cannot be achieved using any other cooking oil. Before you start to panic about peanut allergies, just know that highly refined peanut oil has had the allergy causing proteins removed. Of course, always check that any peanut oil you would use falls into this category before you proceed with the cooking process.

Boardwalk fries, at least the ones being served up at any local Five Guys location, are not served ‘crispy.’ I know, this flies directly in the face of what people have come to expect with restaurant fries, considering that most of us were practically raised on McDonald’s fries. Crispy does not necessarily mean flavorful, so suspend your disbelief for a moment. Five Guys fries are cooked until they are firm to the touch on the outside, with a baked potato-like consistency on the inside. They may come out of the deep fryer with a crispness to them, but they won’t stay that way for long.

Once they hit the fry dump station, they are lightly dusted with salt, and then Cajun spices can be added for flavor and spice, but the heat won’t kill you. The Cajun spice blend used to make Five Guys Cajun fries is a rather mild and mainstream selection, and right now I believe they are using a product from McCormick, but purveyors may change with the times. Cajun spice mix is rather pricey, so be sure they add as much as they are supposed to, which is quite a bit. The Cajun fries at Five Guys are spicy, but you can also order them with light seasoning, or even with the Cajun seasoning on the side, it’s up to you.

If you want to know how to make Five Guys fries at home, then you’ll need to have some very basic equipment and ingredients. A deep fryer and a potato cutter will be needed for prep. These gadgets can be purchased rather cheaply at Amazon, but take care to purchase quality over low price, as this is important for the longevity of the gadgets.

Next, you’ll need 100% peanut oil, sea salt, and Russet potatoes from either Idaho or Washington State. There are no other potatoes that will give you the Boardwalk feel like Russet potatoes will, and they are so damn cheap, why would you pay more for an inferior potato?

Cut the potatoes with your cutter, and then soak them in ice-cold water until the water runs completely clear. This will wash away all the excess starches that could lead to soggy, limp fries. You will have to drain the sink a few times to achieve this, but if you skip this step you will be disappointed with the fries, I guarantee it!

Set the fryer temperature to 345-350 degrees. Once your fries have been soaked to perfection for at least 15 minutes, then you can drop a basket of them in the oil, and fry them until they just start to turn from translucent color to a VERY light brown. You can lightly squish one of the fries to see if it passes the ‘smush test,’ which means that this stage of the frying is complete. Yes, there are two stages involved with cooking a Five Guys fry.

Once the fries have rested for at least 5-10 minutes, and no more than a few hours, you can then fry them to your desired done-ness. You can go by the color of the fry, but Russet potatoes can be funny to work with in this way, as color doesn’t always give the best indication of done-ness. Instead, I recommend checking to see if the fries are floating at the top of the oil, as this will usually mean that they have reached a level of done-ness that you can be happy with. Also, it’s important to note that you need to occasionally shake the fries a bit to ensure that they don’t stick together, but soaking the fries helps to eliminate that worry.

Recap:

-Five Guys Cajun fries are spicy, but they won’t set your mouth ablaze

-Five Guys fries are a Boardwalk style fry, so don’t ask them to make you a ‘crispy’ fry!

-Ingredients for homemade fries: deep fryer, potato cutter, 100% peanut oil, Russet potatoes, sea salt, prep time and patience.

If you follow these basic instructions, then you can be serving Five Guys Cajun fries, or regular Boardwalk style fries, in your home that will make you the envy of your family, friends, and the entire freakin’ neighborhood…! Mmmmm!

Five Guys uses peanut oil for their french fries

and the "sauce" for their fries is a combination of mayo, ketchup, mustard and a little hot sauce

Hammy Egg Maple Bagel

1 tablespoon butter, divided

1 plain bagel, split

4 slices ham

2 eggs

salt and ground black pepper to taste

2 slices American cheese

2 tablespoons maple syrup

Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons butter in a skillet over medium heat; arrange bagel halves, cut sides down, in the melted butter. Cook until bagel is very slightly toasted and softened, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer bagel to a plate.

Cook ham slices in the same skillet until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Arrange 2 ham slices onto each bagel half.

Heat remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons butter in the same skillet; cook eggs in the melted butter until whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes. Gently flip eggs and cook until whites are set, about 1 more minute. Season eggs with salt and pepper. Layer eggs and American cheese slices onto 1 bagel half; top with the second bagel half, creating a sandwich.

Place bagel sandwich back in the skillet and cover with a lid; heat until cheese is melted, about 45 seconds per side.

Transfer bagel sandwich to a plate; drizzle with maple syrup.

2 cups fresh blueberries

2 cups fresh blackberries

Spoon mixture into center of dough, leaving a 2 1/2-inch border around edges; dot with butter. (Do not make filling ahead or it will become too juicy.) Fold edges of dough around fruit, pleating as you go and sealing cracks. Brush dough with beaten egg, and sprinkle with 1 Tbsp. sugar. Freeze 15 minutes.

15 Minute Donuts From Scratch

15 Minute Donuts From Scratch

30 Donut Holes

eat fresh - they don't last -

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 cup milk

1/4 cup buttermilk

1/4 cup granulated sugar

3 Tbsp melted butter

2 cups vegetable oil, for frying

Granulated sugar, cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar, for coating

Preheat oil over medium heat in a 10 inch non-stick fry-pan (keeping an eye on it as it is heating). In a small mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together milk, buttermilk, sugar and melted butter. Using a fork stir in dry ingredients and mix just until combine (think of making biscuit dough, you just want to incorporate the ingredients).

Once the oil has reached 350 degrees, measure out 1/2 tablespoonfuls dough and using your hands gently roll into a ball (gently rolling to keep them fluffy, think of rolling something really fragile. Again this is like a biscuit dough you don't want to overwork it). Gently place dough ball into oil and fry until golden brown on bottom then flip and cook reverse side until golden brown. Carefully remove with metal tongs or a fork and drain onto a paper towel lined plate. Roll in sugar.

Chicken with Quinoa and Veggies

1 cup rinsed quinoa

2 cups chicken broth

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 garlic scapes, chopped

1 small onion, chopped

2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into strips

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 zucchini, diced

1 tomato, diced

4 ounces crumbled feta cheese

8 fresh basil leaves

1 tablespoon lime juice

Bring the quinoa and chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan; reduce heat to a simmer

and cover the pan. Simmer until the broth is absorbed, the quinoa is fluffy, and the

white line is visible in the grain, about 12 minutes.

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet; cook and stir the garlic scapes and

onion until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chicken breast strips

and cook until the chicken is still slightly pink in the middle, about 5 more minutes.

Remove the chicken meat and set aside. Pour 2 more tablespoons of olive oil in the

skillet and cook and stir the zucchini and tomato until the zucchini is tender, 5 to

8 minutes. Return chicken to skillet and sprinkle with feta cheese, basil leaves,

and lime juice. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked and hot, about 10 more

minutes. Serve over hot quinoa.

Say what you will about Michael Bay's various bad habits throughout the production of his films, but if there's anything he should be given heaps of credit for, it's definitely his dedication to action and hitting his marks. We've heard how intense his process is in the past, but Peter Cullen's remarks have brought a lot more of a focus to his dedication to being a world class director of action. The cherry on top though was when he addressed Bay directly to express his wishes that he stay with the Transformers series. "Michael if you're [reading] this, I certainly hope you are coming back."

Whether Michael Bay comes back for another Transformers film or not, it looks like the series is keeping even Optimus Prime himself in the dark on the adventure to come. When I asked Peter Cullen if he knew of any clear direction the series was going to take in its immediate future, he provided me with the exact level of knowledge he's been given on any sort of Transformers 5 action. It would be very difficult me to express any of the future on Transformers, but certainly the excitement that it's generated of where it could possibly go is up to anybody to figure out. I don't have access to any of that information.

There are two main ingredients to the success of the Transformers franchise going forward, and they are Peter Cullen and Michael Bay. Cullen is amped and ready for whatever Optimus Prime will be doing next, and for the sake of continuity and general craftsmanship, here's hoping Michael Bay will be following in his footsteps to finish the job he started seven years ago.

I never made it through Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice back in high school – it was the second book in a double feature that included Tess of the d’Urbervilles in my senior year English class, and I just couldn’t do it. However, high school students of the future will have a much better go of it since they can skip Austen’s literary classic and just watch the new film version, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies – which includes zombies and stars from HBO’s hit series Game of Thrones. I bet some of the papers those kids write are going to be awesome.

Cheesy Ramen Noodles

This is very popular with college students, and anyone on a tight budget. May be the cheapest comfort food on the planet!

I made this yesterday, and it was actually good. I used grated cheddar, butter, frozen veggies, ham, milk and hot sauce. I made just enough for the 2 of us by using 2 bags of noodles with only one seasoning packet.

2 cups water

1 package chicken ramen noodles

1 slice American cheese or equivalent of your favorite cheese

or use cheese dip, Velveeta or cheese whiz

A little milk or sour cream for creaminess optional

Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Add Ramen noodles and cook 2 minutes until tender.

Pour out water, then stir in seasoning packet and cheese to serve. If you are concerned

about too much salt use only half the packet, and you still get the chicken flavor. You

need to add the milk if the consistency is too thick.

Use your imagination!

You can add an egg to the boiling water to get your protein. Or add ham chunks, cooked crumbled bacon or ground sausage. Some folks like cut up hot dogs.

You can add butter, hot sauce, frozen veggies or whatever you like. Eat it with Ritz

or saltine crackers, or crush the crackers and pour over. You can also use these noodles in a stir fry.

Cooking for first time, need help with some recipes

Now that I won't be eating out of my school cafeteria, I'm trying to not fall into the trap of eating everything prepackaged or from a restaurant. I've cobbled together some recipes after looking online for inspiration. The reason I'm tending to use my own creations rather than simply copying other recipes I find is that I don't care for sauce or vegetables (other than garlic) in general. The vegetables that I've added to the recipes below are simply for added nutrition, they'll all simply be chopped and then boiled before being mixed in so as to minimize their flavor. Except garlic, which will generally be chopped and raw. With that in mind, I'm mainly looking to make sure that my proportions for ingredients make sense, and also very open to suggestions for seasonings. Right now I tend to just put basil on everything, but I'm looking to broaden my horizons. Rosemary? Oregano? Tarragon? Thyme? Paprika? These and other things are mysterious to me, but I'd love to learn about them! Also, I'm open to suggestions on what sort of cooking oil to use in all of these. A friend recommended poppyseed oil as their favorite for general use, would that be a good idea?

Lemon garlic salmon/halibut

Broil quarter pound fillet in skillet until done

Over low heat, brush 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 tablespoon oil, allow 2 minutes for it to sink in

Still over low heat, add finely chopped garlic and seasonings (teaspoon of basil and what else?)

Melt butter over fillet after seasoning complete

Brown rice with chicken and veggies

Cook 1.5 cups brown rice in unsalted water

Broil .5 cups of cut chicken breast

Boil .25 cups of kale, spinach, peas, carrots, broccoli, and green beans

Finely chop 2 cloves of garlic

Combine ingredients in wok, toss over low flame, adding 1 tablespoon soy sauce and .5 tablespoon of oil

Add seasonings (but what?)

Bacon, vegetable, and egg scramble

Scramble 2 eggs with 2 diced strips of bacon, a half cup of spinach, a diced potato (2.5" diameter), and a teaspoon each of salt, pepper, basil, and other seasonings?

As eggs finish, add 1 clove diced garlic

Gently toss with garlic in pan for 30 seconds, serve

Meat and veggie spaghetti

Boil 1.5 cups noodles

Cook .25 cup chicken and 2 strips of bacon

Boil .5 cups of broccoli and spinach

Over medium flame, toss ingredients, melt in pat of butter

Over low flame, add 2 cloves finely diced garlic, 2 tablespoons parmesan, 1 tablespoon oil, and seasonings

Thoughts? Be gentle. :oops:

Edit: I'd also love to integrate some sea vegetables into my diet somehow, just for some variety, but I have no experience with them.

Watch The Giver Online

Watch Lets Be Cops Online Set to be based on the 1994 non-fiction book Hank Williams: The Biography and set to be both written and directed by producer Marc Abraham, I Saw The Light will tell the story of Hank Williams rise to fame and all of the hardships that came along with it. Over the course of his career, Willaims recorded a number of songs that will live on forever - either through his own recordings or though covers - but sadly his career didn't last long. The country star died at the young age of 29 due to a combination of alcoholism and conditions relating to spina bifida, a disorder he was born with.

Watch If I Stay Online

Watch Step Up All In Online After a big 2013 that included titles like Thor: The Dark World and the festival run of Jim Jarmusch's Only Lovers Left Alive, Hiddleston's 2014 has been rather quiet - though he did do a cameo in Muppets Most Wanted and voiced a young Captain Hook in the animated direct-to-video feature Tinker Bell and the Pirate Fairy. He has a big 2015 coming up, as in addition to I Saw The Light he also has Guillermo del Toro's haunted house horror Crimson Peak and Ben Wheatley's sci-fi thriller High-Rise. Beyond that, he also has been rumored as the top choice for an in-development Ben-hur remake (dated for February 26, 2016), and he will presumably be coming back as Loki in Thor 3 - though that film doesn't currently have a release date just yet.

Watch The November Man Online ROTTEN WATCH PREDICTION39% Seriously, when are people going to start learning about basic truths set forth in the movies? Some of these things are so freaking obvious. If you are called back in for one last job, it means someone is about to double cross you. If you make a bet with your buddy about a woman, you will end up falling in love with her and won’t be able to tell her about the bet that started it all. And if it there’s a storm and a stranger looking for help shows up at your door, that person is going to try and kill you and your whole family. These things are irrefutable. When will people wake up?

Watch Guardians of the Galaxy Online

Watch Guardians of the Galaxy Online That first Dolphin Tale (82%) scored really well with critics and director Charles Martin Smith is back for round two. I suspect this one finishes lower than the first, as it appears a simple retread. Something to put on screen because the first one scored so well. My bet is there is no Dolphin Tale 3.

See a person who hasn’t learned anything in the trailer for No Good Deed, In all seriousness though, I’d probably let Idris Elba into my house also. The dude just seems like he’s got it all put together. So I suppose I can forgive the woman here, who unwittingly (and presumably a bit hesitantly) lets a psycho into her house to terrorize the whole family. The rest of the flick looks a like a slow burn. Elba gets increasingly hostile. For some reason they all just can’t run away and you’ve a thriller to the bones.

I think critics fall a tad

Watch The Identical Online

Watch The November Man Online last rotten week Only one movie was released last week, and I missed by a country mile. The Identical (Predicted: 39% Actual: 4%) will probably go down as one of the worst, widely-released movies of the year. A 4% with over 50 reviews in the books is abysmal. Honestly, I should have seen this coming considering the release date. Movies that hit the screens around Labor Day are usually a studio bottom feeder and they get buried in the end-of-summer time period because everyone is outside enjoying the sun. And yet I shot a prediction close to the middle and got crushed. I’ll keep it in mind next year.

Watch When the Game Stands Tall Online It was back in June that it was announced that The Avengers star Tom Hiddleston had been cast to play the lead in an upcoming biopic about famous country western singer Hank Williams. The film isn't actually heading into production until next month, but the actor recently decided to give an audience a sneak peek at what we can expect - and now you can watch it yourself thanks to the embed you'll find above.

For those of you who don't recognize the tune, Hiddleston is singing Williams' hit "Move It On Over," which the singer-songerwriter first wrote and performed all the way back in 1947. While the video above doesn't feature Hiddleston singing the entire track, you can still compare it to the Williams studio recorded version below:

Watch The Expendables 3 Online

It’s tough to know how this flick will score with critics. We’ve got Sam Miller as director, a dude whose resume is primarily filled with television. Good television mind you, but television nonetheless. And the plot has been done a thousand times before: innocents trapped in a house with a crazy dude looking to kill them (but not right away). Having been down this path before I’d suspect the flick needs to get just about everything right because none of it will be treading any new ground.

I think critics fall a tad below the middle on this one, with Elba giving a strong performance but unable to overcome a somewhat tired plot. And don’t forget to learn from your movies folks. They can save your life.
